Chapter 25

  Back home alone, Rose collapsed into her couch and let out a frustrated ‘grahhhh’ noise loudly, startling Muffin from his nap.

  Her parents had stuck around most of the day and left after having dinner in the cottage. They had spent a majorly long time making small talk and praising the new Laird, how handsome and charismatic he was, and how very sophisticated his girlfriend seemed to be. Rose had wanted to stab her own eyes out with a fork but had managed to smile sweetly, nod and not say anything that would give them any suspicions.

  She had not been much good at keeping the conversation in neutral territory when all her parents wanted to do was gush over their idea of a celebrity around here.
